Performers

Examples of Turkish male Arabesk singers are Orhan Gencebay, Müslüm Gürses and Ferdi Tayfur, who have die-hard followers, usually in conflict with each other. Young arabesk singers are such people as Emrah and Ozcan Deniz, though these singers have tried to move into mainstream Turkish pop without much success. In recent years through remixing his tracks into dance friendly club tracks Ibrahim Tatlises has gained popularity amongst the dance scene. Many music critics argue that the surge of Popstar Alaturka type competitions on Turkish TV has only added to the Arabesque-pop music industry's shallow image, and is cited as the reason why underground and reactionary music is becoming more popular.
